depression
It is not just a matter of feeling sad; discover an honest view of the mental, emotional and physical toll of clinical depression.
Twin Shadows
Having anxiety and depression is like being scared and tired at the same time. It’s the fear of failure but no urge to be productive. It’s wanting friends but hating to socialize. It’s wanting to be alone but not wanting to be lonely. It’s caring about everything, then caring about nothing. It’s feeling everything at once, then feeling paralyzingly numb. — Anonymous

I Feel Powerless. Content Warning.
Rough morning, already wake up to my husband calling me I was happy about that. I know it has nothing to do with me per say. I wish there were laws with countries that protected others. Unfortunately, that's not how the world works. My toxic mother-in-law has crossed the line many times. Involving me and my husband, I never had a choice the way she fights is like a cobra with psychological warfare. I never know when she will strike, I wish I had a cigarette this morning. She has stolen my husband's money, she has stole what little found he has to find my nephew instead of walking her fucking lazy ass to the story because taking my husband's food is more I don't know demented. I don't have a choice it's not like my mother no Petra Aurelien is relentless. There are rats in the house, garbage around the outside and food set in the open. I wish my husband would just report her to the cops and she would be sent to Jail and my father in law walks around the house in front of my husband traumatizing him further he is naked. When I was there thankfully, he never did that, but there attitudes have changed to show there true colours. What's worse is I've not seen my husband in a year and I get to witness all this shit and not have a say on my husband's safety. Do you know how it feels I can't do anything about this. I'm tired of seeing him suffer no one deserves this. With each passing day, my husband sinks deeper into depression and the only thing protecting him is God. My worst fear is what if these people take things to far and he can't take it no more and tries to take his own life. I want justice for everything they did to him thus far I want justice so bad I crave it. I will not lose my husband anymore; I wish there was a way to report these crimes even though I'm all the way here.

Overcome difficult times
Contemplating life with a grave, serious, and unsmiling demeanor appears justified when reflecting on the profound capacity for wickedness within our species. The pages of human history are stained with instances of monstrous suffering, driven by unbridled greed and an insatiable penchant for cruelty. Our minds, often capricious and unruly, lead us down labyrinthine paths of error and chaos, leaving no soul untouched by the formidable challenges existence throws our way. It's easy to succumb to the belief that every day is a relentless onslaught of adversity, culminating in the inevitability of the worst possible outcomes.

Elara's Clockwork Symphony
In the veiled city of Zephyr, where clockwork owls patrolled the gaslight-kissed streets and houses sprouted mechanical vines, lived a clockmaker's apprentice named Elara. Unlike the stoic cogsmiths around her, Elara possessed a forbidden talent: she could weave stories into clockwork, infusing intricate mechanisms with whispered wishes and fantastical dreams.

Missionaries in America
*What is a Christian Missionary? "A Christian missionary is a person who dedicates his or her life to fulfilling the Great Commission: to preach the Gospel, baptizing and making disciples (Matthew 28:19-20)...When we typically think of missionaries, we tend to imagine individuals or families going to Africa or heading to China or going to an unreached people group in a remote locale." https://www.compellingtruth.org/Christian-missionary.html

Ego death
A common resolution to most human conflicts is the minimization or eradication of the self in some form. Anxious? Remember that you're not the center of the universe and that none of this really matters. Unsure of who you are? The self isn't constant so why try to find something that's not there. Relationship issues? Stop focusing on yourself and focus on your partner's needs.
